Lorinser Death Threat Under Investigation

The investigation continues into a death threat against Democratic First District U.S. House of Representatives candidate Dr. Bob Lorinser. 

The threat was received by the Lorinser campaign via text message Thursday, in response to an invitation to a campaign appearance in Elk Rapids. It stated exactly when and where the attack would occur, and the type of weapon that would be used.

The Lorinser campaign said that the source of the message could not be immediately traced. Local law enforcement officials and the FBI were immediately notified.

Lorinser thanked law enforcement for responding.
